This obstruction resembles a similar condition seen in the brain, requiring prompt medical attention.<\/b><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-32dd7a9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"32dd7a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imaging retinal vessels with a contrast medium<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The procedure involves capturing images of retinal blood vessels using a specialized imaging technique called retinal angiography.

The contrast medium, represented by a white substance, cannot pass through the blocked vessel. This indicates that blood flow is impeded at this point, resulting in insufficient supply to the surrounding retinal tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c98b65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6c98b65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identifying the affected retinal area<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The area surrounding the blocked vessel appears darker, indicating reduced blood supply and nutrient deprivation in this part of the retina. This phenomenon is known as non-perfusion and can lead to significant visual impairment if not promptly treated. Non-perfused areas are of particular concern, as they can lead to loss of retinal function and potential vision deterioration.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6addcfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6addcfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical care<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The management of retinal vessel occlusions requires a similar approach to that of brain vessel occlusions. Prompt medical intervention is essential to prevent further damage and restore blood circulation. Treatment options may include medication, laser eye therapy or, in more severe cases, surgery. Early detection and intervention can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with this type of condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Imaging retinal vessels with contrast media offers invaluable insights into the health of the retina and the condition of its blood vessels. Just as vessel blockages in the brain can have serious consequences, prompt treatment of retinal vessel occlusions is crucial to preventing vision loss. If you notice any sudden changes in your vision, or if you have any concerns about your eye health, it&#8217;s essential to consult an eye care professional. Regular eye examinations are also recommended starting at the age of 55.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad8e8b9 elementor-mobile-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"ad8e8b9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/?page_id=9963\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Make an appointment<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this article, we will explore a video presenting the imaging of retinal vessels after a contrast injection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":9896,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-laser-eye-surgery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10091\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/oculus.swiss\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
